Maaf. Tajuk ini sudah basi. Tapi aku sengaja coretkan di sini sebagai rekod. Sekurang-kurangnya, nanti 10 tahun akan datang, baca balik post-post di sini, aku akan teringat kerisauan masyarakat terutamanya ibu-ibu mengandung apabila virus ini semakin menular. Sebagai makluman, ketika entri ini ditulis, masih belum ada vaksin yang boleh menyembuhkan virus zika ini.
Apakah virus zika??
Mnurut sumber daripada wikipedia :
"Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the virus family Flaviviridae and the genus Flavivirus. It is spread by daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes, such as A. aegypti and A. albopictus. Its name comes from the Zika Forest of Uganda, where the virus was first isolated in 1947. Zika virus is related to the dengue, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and West Nile viruses. Since the 1950s, it has been known to occur within a narrow equatorial belt from Africa to Asia. From 2007 to 2016, the virus spread eastward, across the Pacific Ocean to the Americas, leading to the 2015–16 Zika virus epidemic.
The infection, known as Zika fever or Zika virus disease, often causes no or only mild symptoms, similar to a very mild form of dengue fever.While there is no specific treatment, paracetamol (acetaminophen) and rest may help with the symptoms. As of 2016, the illness cannot be prevented by medications or vaccines. Zika can also spread from a pregnant woman to her fetus. This can result in microcephaly, severe brain malformations, and other birth defects. Zika infections in adults may result rarely in Guillain–Barré syndrome.
Sila translate sendiri. Haha
Ok. Semoga ibu-ibu mengandung di seluruh dunia dihindari daripada jangkitan virus zika. Marilah kita memohon perlindungan daripada Allah, sesungguhnya Allah ialah sebaik-baik Pelindung.
